Heron Tree published two erasure poems I sent in response to their prompt of using the number 12 in some way for the twelfth issue, in found poetry using pre-1929 sources. What a fun prompt!
They included my explanation of how I created these poems. I really enjoyed the process of finding these poems within the text of Louisa May Alcott's novel, Eight Cousins. A collage poem also came out of this process, which I hope to have out in the future.
